will you let this thread die just cuz it's about a game.com?

Yeah, I probably would too. :P

But on the off chance one of y'all wants to talk game.com repair, does anyone know anything about repairing a screen?

I can power the system on and hear audio. I can drag my finger across the screen and hear stuff happening. I just can't SEE anything (a blessing you say?)

Is the screen and thus the unit toast? Or is there a fix? A transistor to replace or a wire to re-solder? Something to jiggle and jangle 'til it blinks back on?

It's currently disassembled with about 20 tiny (although 3-different sized) screws rolling around. I'm not too eager to put it together again (and highly question if I can do it correctly anyway) if there's no hope of fixing it.

Thanks!

Sounds like it's just a loose connection, but i don't know as i've never opened a game.com

If there are two seperate connections for the screen and the touch sensors, then the screen probably just needs to be reconnected. I would guess it's a ribbon cable.

If the touch sensors and screen function off of the same ribbon cable, then the display is probably toast.

I assume you've played with the contrast? The screen is pretty light no matter what.
